"Ma, Grace Under Pressure": Rahul Gandhi's Post On Emergency Landing

Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi were on their way back to Delhi from the opposition meeting in Bengaluru.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had an appreciation post for 76-year-old mother Sonia Gandhi a day after their aircraft made an emergency landing in Bhopal, on its way from Bengaluru to Delhi.

"Ma, the epitome of grace under pressure," Mr Gandhi captioned the picture that featured Sonia Gandhi wearing an oxygen mask. The post has collected over 1.8 lakh likes in the first hour.

The New Delhi-bound chartered plane carrying the Gandhis landed at the Bhopal airport on Tuesday evening with news agency PTI quoting airport director Ramji Awasthi as saying, "It was a priority landing and not an emergency landing."
